Unless the article contradicts itself further down in the part only subscribers can read?The idea that Canvas and Ketnet are to be renamed comes from a newspaper 'discovering' that the domain names vrt2.be and vrtkids.be have been bought by the VRT:

Het Laatste Nieuws, translated with DeepL Wrote:VRT has also already registered the domain names VRT2.Be (to VRT10.be), as well as VRTkids.be and VRTsport.be. That does not mean, according to spokesman Bob Vermeir, that Canvas, Ketnet and Sporza will also be changing names soon. "We are doing that to secure our brand name," he says. But when it was discovered in January that VRT had registered the domain name VRT1.be, the same story sounded. There were also supposedly no plans at the time to change the name of Eén. "I can only repeat that Canvas, Sporza and Ketnet will continue to exist," says Bob Vermeir.

I suspect the names will eventually be changed, but not for some time. We'll probably only find out about it when it happens. (Though I do love a surprise rebrand - makes it much more exciting, I feel.)
